Special Counsel John Durham revealed he has unearthed a text message showing Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not working on behalf of any client when he delivered anti-Trump research.
Special Counsel John Durham is revealing new smoking gun evidence, a text message that shows a Clinton campaign lawyer lied to the FBI, while putting the courts on notice he is prepared to show the effort to smear Donald Trump with now-disproven Russia collusion allegations was a "conspiracy."
In a bombshell court filing late Monday night, Durham for the first time suggested Hillary Clinton's campaign, her researchers and others formed a "joint venture or conspiracy" for the purpose of weaving the collusion story to harm Trump's election chances and then the start of his presidency.
"These parties acted as 'joint venturer[s]' and therefore should be 'considered as co-conspirator[s],'" he wrote.
Durham also revealed he has unearthed a text message showing Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not working on behalf of any client when he delivered now-discredited anti-Trump research in the lead-up to the 2016 election. In fact, he was working for the Clinton campaign and another client, prosecutors say.
The existence of the text message between Sussmann and then-FBI General Counsel James Baker was revealed in a court filing late Monday night by Durham's team. Prosecutors said they intend to show Sussmann gave a false story to the FBI but then told the truth about working on behalf of the Clinton campaign when he later testified to Congress.
"Jim – it's Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss," Sussmann texted Baker on Sept. 18, 2016, according to the new court filing. "Do you have availability for a short meeting tomorrow? I'm coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company – want to help the Bureau. Thanks."

Joint Venture = RICO.
That’s something the Law can wrap its arms around.
Thanks for your thoughtful commentary. I agree wholeheartedly.
DEMOCRATS are LAW-LESS because REPUBLICANS are BALL-LESS!!

A thesaurus is your friend.
It is now 7.5 years after the coup. All of these facts have been known the whole time.
All of the people saying “nothing will happen” are 100% correct. I don’t fully understand the purpose behind the theater of slowly dripping this stuff out but I can guarantee you it isn’t in the pursuit of justice.
Just like Hunter Biden’s laptop and the truth about Covid and the vaccines, they are slowly letting out the truth once it becomes convenient and past the point of danger to their objectives.
The technical term for this is "limited/partial hangout".
RICO TIME????
Sigh. I am in a bit of quandary over this.
I just listened to John Solomon’s podcast yesterday where he spoke with Kash Patel, and I have a lot of respect for Mr. Patel, he is an conservative ideological stud with a brain and a moral base. His take on it (as someone who participated in this very process some years back with Devin Nunes) was quite interesting, including his reaction to Sussman being hoisted on his own petard.
His take (and I have always taken this view, to my detriment and the disagreement of many on this forum, and understandably so!) is that there is a reason Durham is going glacially slow. He regards what Durham has done with his disclosure of Sussman’s lying and his deliberate use of the word “conspiracy” (notable as being the first material use of the word in a real threatening way against the Left) as the foundation of the pyramid.
Patel thinks that this was done deliberately on the part of Durham, and while he doesn’t think Clinton well ever be indicted, he sees people from the FBI such as Bill Priestap being brought in to testify.
Sigh. I want to believe, and I am inclined to believe, but...like others, I need to see it.
Ha-Ha!
